President trump meeting with manufacturing ceos at the white house today. Also set to sign two new executive orders on trade. Commerce secretary wilbur ross ratcheting up the trade war rhetoric as michelle referenced earlier and he did it right here on cnbc. Tyler, soaring optimism this afternoon during the meeting with those executives 93 of the companies surveyed at the National Manufacturers association say theyre feeling good about the outlook and thats a record high driving up sentiment is a prospect of tax reform, infrastructure, and deregulation. Here is the president in the roosevelt room. I am very, very proud of what youve been able to do in a short period of time, the optimism is so high, and i see the billions of dollars that are being invested by your people and your representatives in plant and equipment and jobs. I appreciate that. Later this afternoon at 3 30 p. M. The president is scheduled to sign two executive orders on trade that he said are krcritic for leveling the Playing Field for american companies. The first order calls for a review of any country with which the u. S. Has a trade imbalance. The second executive order will bolster the governments efforts to collect counter veiling duties. Commerce secretary wilbur ross did say earlier these measures are necessary because the u. S. Is already in a trade war. Well bring you more from the signing ceremony when we have it. Yep. Youll see that here on cnbc. Thank you, ylan. To Steve Liesman here to acce separate trade fact from trade fiction. Steve, is the Trump Administration speaking truth about trade . Are we in a trade war . Not according to most economists. The idea the trade deficits are negative for growth and it should be the target or the aim of policy. Its very interesting, michelle, that from the right and the left, these are people who disagree about the role of government, they all agree that targeting the trade deficit is the wrong way to go and really the idea is that when we have higher trade deficits, we have higher growth. We have lower trade deficits, we have lower growth. The connection between growth and trade deficits. Now i dont think they disagree with some of the administrative things going on here. The idea companies that are assessed duties should pay them. Even the idea we should review companies with which we have trade deficits to see if there are administrative issues at work here. But if i could just read you what was said on trade. Peter navarro said if were able to reduce trade deficits we should be able to increase our growth rate. Yes, thats the one, the thing that a lot of economists, larry kudlow, for example, frequently disagrees vehemently with that. Larry kudlow and paul krugman. When do you see them together on the same issue . I think your second point is super important when we still see manufacturers with all of this optimism. Part of the executive order is looking at trade abuses, put aside the trade deficit. We hear from ceos behind closed doors, happy about the shift in attitude. Okay. That theyre going to be tough about those. The things that matter that take away manufacturing jobs. In the first order 80 to 87 is automation. In the second order, things like lower labor costs overseas. In the third place, you might put Something Like the idea that they have that we have environmental rules and labor rules and they dont, something, by the way, tpp was going to address, which were not now going to address. And then you want to put the actual administrative things, it might be not even on the list. The thing i hear the most, the greatest frustration, is, for the most part, Chinese Companies can invest here in almost anything they want. The minute a u. S. Company wants to invest in china, it has to be a joint venture. You have to have the backing of a stateowned enterprise. Had he havent done enough to change their economy. We should be upset about china investing here for what reason . Its not that. It is that. Thats what you said. No, its that u. S. Companies they cant do the same thing. Who cares . I mean, who cares . We care. If china wants to invest money in our factories, why is that bad for us. Its not bad. Its just that we dont get the same opportunities there. Look, im not saying we shouldnt address those opportunities. Thats what im saying. But thats not the issue if theyre coming over here and theyre buying our factories, employ iing our people, investi in our country. What country has grown without having investment. Every 20 years it was a different country doing it. We have to remember it was japan in the 80s, it was mexico 100 years ago, do you know who the low cost producer was . The u. S. The United States of america. And do you know what money foreign money built our railroads. Youre missing my point. Maybe these are ways youre misrepresenting the Trump Administration which is targeting trade deficits as a negative and i want to read you what Cato Institute, the far right Cato Institute i know exactly what they are saying. I know what navarro is saying. The u. S. Has run trade deficits for the past 41 straight years during which the size of the American Economy tripled in real terms and the number of jobs in the economy almost doubled. This is an antitrade administration. The fear is they will end up reducing u. S. Growth through their antitrade policies. I dont think most companies disagree. Its just that when it comes to examining tradeoffs they are happy to have somebody defend itting their interests as well. Almost every ceo ive talked to is as concerned with the Trump Administrations trade policies as they are happy about the Trump Administration. Explain to me the optimism among the manufacturers. The optimism is incredible. Okay. And what have you seen in terms of actual Capital Investment . Steve, were 70 days in. They can be as happy as they want to be. Indicators always lead actual investment. What soft indicators . Pmi yes, they do. 9 to 12 months at the lead loan growth. How much of that historic 41 years in a row was oil . The trade deficit . A bunch of it. Weve made a lot of strides in that regard. Speaking of which. Its a nice segue, thank you very much, steve. I have a feeling well continue our trade discussion at a later date. Meantime, speaking of oil, the weekly numbers are out and, guess what, for the 11th straight week we are adding more oil rigs. Ten more oil rigs were added this week. 662 trilogy rigs right now operational on land in the United States. By the way, thats compared to 300 the same week last year. It is the biggest quarter for oil rig additions since the Second Quarter of 2011. Guys, we wonder why prices have been soft, prohe deductiductio up. I dont love the border adjustment tax. I like talking with about it. A very good thing for domestic Oil Producers and refiners. By the way, kevin brady, happens to be from houston. Shocking how that works out, tyler. Absolutely. President trump meeting with a number of the nations small manufacturing companies. Start ed the meeting by highlighting a study showing there is increased confidence in the sector, something we were just talking about. Patricia miller of the Plastics Manufacturing Company matrix four. She was in that meeting and she joins us now. Welcome. Good to have you with us . Thank you. Good afternoon. Well, were delighted to have you there. How would you characterize the meeting and the optimism in the room . The meeting was definitely exciting, it was nice to see President Trump listening to small and midsized manufacturers and being able to have a seat at the table and the conversation. Tell us a little bit about your company. I gather youre involved in 3d printing and other sort of cutting edge technologies. Where is your Company Based . What are your revenues . Its a family owned business, i gather, that has been in your family for some time. Tell us about it. Matrix four is a three year old startup on a growth trajectory with a 40year history. My grandpa started in 1976 and ran it for 37 years. I left fortune 500 pharma in the biopharma space to join manufacturing. Last year we did between 3 million and 5 million in r revenue and plan to double again this year. So we were just talking about optimism in the Manufacturing Sector which certainly is higher than its been in a long, long, long time. I assume you share some of that optimism and id like to get you to speculate a little bit about why manufacturers, maybe not all of a sudden, but certainly in a bit of a shift, are as optimistic today as they are. Why . Absolutely. Im completely excited about the industry and manufacturing. Thats why i decided to join the industry three years ago. I think there are many reasons for that. Were in a space where were defining the next chapter of manufacturing. Were looking at technology, automation, 3d printing, and we also have an administration that we have his ear in looking how is manufacturing, which has been a backbone for our economy, important and how do we make sure were supporting manufacturers to be able to continue bringing jobs and work here to the u. S. You mentioned something that seems really important there. The administration, youve got its ear. What is it about this administration that gives comfort to manufacturers like you . I think manufacturers, and speaking on behalf of small manufacturers, like to see a president whos business oriented at the table and removing some of the red tape that makes it challenging for us to do business. What about trade . Are you worried about trade . Did you hear the whole argument about trade we just had . Are you worried that this administration is antitrade . Im not worried theyre antitrade. Manufacturing has been impacted, particular ly matrix four and during the recession. I think we need to have the conversation and be openminded to it and ensure were staying x competitive within the industry. Can you find workers . Excuse me . Can you find workers qualified, sophisticated stuff, can you find people . Yes. So matrix four is a Plastics Manufacturing Company. Making actual plastic parts. Its a challenge. We talk about it a lot. How do we engage in an industry and make sure were automating as much as we can and have to in order to be competitive and it makes sense. We still need a labor force. Patricia miller, a pleasure. She sat right next to the president in the meeting. Cool. Still ahead if you hate flying out of new yorks crumbling airports we have a way to offset the pain. Invest in them. Well tell you why and how. But first, the final trading day of the month and First Quarter. So where is your money best served . Well take a look next. Wheres frank .

We have a few more business hours, basically quarter one is in the books. Not a bad quarter for most stocks. Lets get more on bob pisani down at the nyse. Its been a solid quarter overall. With the s p up about 5 on the quarter, techs, nasdaq 100 the big winner. Banks and energy are lagging as you can see. The bigger story is money continuing to flow into the stock market, etfs have recorded their biggest quarter ever. 135 billion in inflows. Investors wanted stocks from all over the world. Nearly half were into u. S. Equities but International Funds also had strong inflows particularly into europe and emerging markets. The big etf winners were the plain vanilla, the s p 500 funds, but emerging market etfs and european etfs including e e eafe. High yield etfs like ishares saw significant outflows, about a billion dollars. Thats about 6 of the assets under management. Hyg, by the way, ten years old on april 4 th. Whats going on . This is all about confidence. Confidence on three levels. Number one, on the Economy Consumer confidence at the highest level since 2000. Skeptics note the higher economic numbers have not seen the big jump this quarter. Sentiment indicators have seen the jump. Q1 earnings tracking up 10 , the best showing in near ly six years and confidence on the trump agenda of lower taxes, Infrastructure Spending and fewer regulations. The rest of the year will be between those three factors. Can the flows continue . How much is due to the trump agenda . How much the surge and low cost etfs and investing in general. Its clear they can influence fund flows. The third week of march, the first negative week since the election for flows. That was the week the house failed on its Obamacare Repeal bill. Very clear trump agenda can influence flows. Melissa, back to you. Bob pisani, thank you. Where are the best places to put your money to work next quarter . Chief instrvestment strategist gabriella from jpmorgan asset management. Good to see you. I mean, we entered the year with certain notions of what the trump trade was going to be and how they were going to do in the First Quarter. We thought financials would be the clear winner. Theyre the third worst performing sector for the quarter. Energy would also be strong. That was one of the worst performing sectors. How do we reevaluate to reposition for the second . When i think about the trade this quarter, the factories being assets did much better than Something Like cash or quality fixed income, to me its not necessarily a trump trade, its a global reflags trade, its a pickup Economic Data around the world and that is still very much the case. So as we go into the Second Quarter, thats the main factor were watching. And as a result we still would be positioned much more for risk assets including the cyclical sectors some of which did not do as well as expected like financials. At this point, technology was a clear winner. Do you continue with what is working or do you think theres a rotation . It will be a mix, stick with whats working. In an environment where Topline Revenue and earnings per share is very difficult to come by, stick with those that are able to generate it and technology is a clear winner in that regard. I also think that in a market thats really hard to find a lot of compelling values, you want to find things that are inexpensive. Financials and energy will meet that criteria. Are you still big in tax reform or not . In the wake of what happened with health care reform, what do you think . It was supposed to deliver a lot more to earnings and the bottom line. The first two things are earnings are much better. The third thing that were waiting to bide our time on is will the fiscal policy come. I think its going to be smaller and take longer. Is the reflags to propel u. S. Stocks if the trump agenda stalls . I think so. Its about the magnitude. And so for us we have to remember in the ninth year of this expansion we expect earnings to continue trending up, the economy to be fine. But were talking about 5 Earnings Growth here without any sort of Corporate Tax reform in the u. S. You have to be selective. Where can we make money . Is that so wrong . Staying invested is how you make money. Think about the First Quarter, cash gave you zero percent. The6 . International investing especially is where we expect the outperformance the next few years. All right. Michael and gabriella, thank you. Crayola has kicked one of its classic colors out of the crayon box. Can you guess which one . Pink floyd. Burning cyenna. Some Middle East Airlines getting creative in the electronics travel ban. Well have both of those stories. And an explanation of what brian was talking about next. Guys, whats happening here . Hey nicole, this is my new alert system for whenever anything happens in the market. Kids a natural. But thinkorswim already lets you create custom alerts for all the things that are important to you. Shhh. Alerts on anything at all . Not only that, you can act on that opportunity with just one tap right from the alert. Wow, i guess we dont need the kid anymore. Custom alerts on thinkorswim. Only at Td Ameritrade. Crayola kicking one of its colors out, dandelion. The first color to be pulled from the box set in its 100year history. What did it do to anybody . A new color in the blue family. This is discrimination against yellow crayons. Keeping the shade under wraps. The Huffington Post will go crazy. Why . Youre right. Its discrimination. It will be great. All right. If you are flying from the middle east back to the United States anytime soon and are worried about the laptop ban, a little good news. Two middle Eastern Airlines are offering passengers flying free laptops and ipads to use on their flights. They are also offering free wifi on all u. S. Bound flights. The recently imposed ban of large Electronic Devices on some flights. Probably a good idea except for the fact i doubt most people will reinstall their email and preferences on to somebody elses ipad regardless. If you want an ipad in your hand to hold a drink on it maybe its fine. The kids. A chunk of an atlanta freeway missing after a massive fire cause d it to collapse. More of this crazy video coming up. And how you can profit from one of new yorks most hate d airports. Gee, which one. Im Courtney Reagan and here is your update.

That was when the builders etf gained about 15 . Top build, surging 32 on pace for its best quarter ever. Best quarter since 2012. Still, Home Builders perhaps a good sign for the economy. Back over to you. Thank you very much, dom chu. The bond market, buying on the short end of the curve but selling on the long end. The 30year yielding above 3 . We have a lot of Economic Data today including one key headline. Dropped since 2012. We see the front end of the curve. And a fire so hot it caused part of a highway bridge in atlanta to collapse. This was the scene at rush hour thursday night on i85, one of the busiest roads in the country. The blaze began when massive spools of plastic utility conduits caught fire. The mayor of atlanta calls it a transportation crisis. Aditi roy is live in fremont, california with some details. Hi, aditi. Reporter hi there, tyler. Dams are a big part of infrastructure and i want to give you a lay of this beautiful land here. Right there is part of the dam. It controls the water flows from this huge reservoir you see behind me and that water is supposed to provide Drinking Water for roughly 2. 5 Million People in the state. Here is the catch, just 1,500 feet next to that old dam is a fault line, the threat of a major earthquake, part of the reason they have this huge construction site. Its a 5 billion Infrastructure Project and is one of the few instances of preventive maintenance for a segment you dont hear much about until theres a problem. Intense dorm, in that case they averted a dam failure. In its most recent infrastructure report card earlier this month. The organization said it would costed 45 billion to repair the countrys aging highhazard dams and 80 billion to improve the nations levees. Here in california alone, several dam and levee projects are on the 100 billion infrastructure wish list for the federal government. Back to you. All right, thank you very much, aditi. Dams and levees, bridges and airports, highways, air traffic control. The list is so long. But what type of infrastructure gives the most bang for the buck . Joining us now is an author of too big to failing. Hey, barry. Michelle, good to be with you. Imagine we did have a trillion dollars we could spend right now to fix infrastructure. Where do we get the most bang for the buck . Where should that money go . Should it go to the airport, to the highway, to the bridges . Lets look at where the congress is right now. The leader mr. Schuster who says were not putting any tax dollars into infrastructure. If were going to go forward with the president s plan it will be with private money. Or within our country. We are facing a russian roulette situation here and we keep spinning the wheels. One of these times a bullet will come and well have massive failures, not just one or two. We already had it in minneapolis, barry. Atlanta yesterday. 600 failures since 1989. Does that mean we should do bridges . Thats why i constructed the question the way i did. Imagine we had a trillion dollars now, put aside the politics. Where would it be best spent . 6,000 vulnerable bridges capable of collapsing in a moments notice like the tappan zee bridge. We could employ 2 million workers, almost a million of them currently unemployed, put them back it to work for three years. Answer lear projec ancillary projects would go to work to replace the 8,000 highly vulnerable bridges. What would happen. Almost a third of it would come back when we pay the employees. Its not really a trillion dollars. When you come up with that list, do you factor in the usage of those particular bridges or those particular tunnels in terms of the number of people that go across it every single day . And does that make it a more worthwhile spend . Many these bridges handle 50,000, 75,000 and 100,000 plus travelers per day. They do involve tens of millions of the travel public including on buses. The economic consequences i dont think catastrophic is too big of a word. How are they going to get into work and theyre not . The impact would be staggering. Take that money and invest it. What it does, it creates a deficit neutral process because the income those workers would make would go comes back to you. To pay their communities for schools, childrens clothing, new cars or used cars. We get the multiplying effect. Were not going to impact tax dollars doing this. Thank you so much, barry. Good to be here with all of you. So cnbc, bring it back to your money. If all these big Infrastructure Projects actually happen, how can you invest in it especially if you dont want to guess what stocks may win after all some of the stocks have already had huge runs, some have doubled. One way to invest might be through Municipal Bonds. Yes, i know. Theyre not that boring if you can make money off them. A guy who manages 20 billion in the space. Cohead of the Municipal Managers group. Thanks for joining us. No offense on the Municipal Bond comment but they get forgotten about. First off, do you believe that we will get something done . Are you strategizing in anticipation that something will actually happen . I think something will happen. Keep in mind infrastructure does not happen overnight. It has been a big mantra for President Trump now through his campaign and today whats getting done. Its great that hes talk iing about it. Our insights at the beginning of the year, we talked about rebuilding america. Innovative financing has to happen. How to position their portfolios in anticipation of this increase of p3s. I own a Municipal Bond and the leading holding is the new jersey turnpike authority. Every time i go through the darned ez pass, im sort of paying myself. A lot of our viewers live in this area, they suffer through Laguardia Airport every single week. Can you invest in the most hated airport in the United States . Thats a great point. At least you pay yourself there. Its a microcosm of whats going on throughout the country. We need to spend more money on our term nalts. Our terminals. Tell me if i invest in laguardia, what do i get . Between 4. 5 yield. Even on not only a domestic but global basis. Think of that income stream on a global basis where were staring at negative rates throughout the country. Were seeing massive demand from europe, asia, looking at Municipal Bonds and i agree with barry, this is the source of funding is very important as to how you attain that. Explain that to me again. Trying to reduce taxable income are the people buying Municipal Bond. So why are foreigners buying municipals . Its kind of boring. The marketplace has massive nuances, credit. Revenuebacked financing. Foreign buyers are looking for a couple of different reasons. Low default rates. Infrastructure investing is a municipal basis type of investment. Sorry to cut you off. We promised three. We like to deliver on our promises unlike politicians. Indiana bridges and the worst traffic in america now is i66, the beltway area around d. C. How do we invest in those and to michelles point how can we make . Today the bridges and tunnels over the ohio river was governor pence of indiana, theyre there, theyre under construction. They just got upgraded. Roughly 4 tax exempt income stream. If youre just throughout the country thats attractive. I66 . I66 is a new project coming hopefully some time this summer. Theres no price talk about that yet. As anybody who has ever driven anywhere in and around the beltway in washington, d. C. , knows, you need it. You need to alleviate its an hour from d. C. To manassas. Go osborne high school. Between Tysons Corner and gainesville just south of the city and its incredibly useful, important. Demand will be there because, again, the issuance will most likely be virginia exempt. And so for residents throughout the country, in addition to specifically virginia clients they should look into that. Will this be a public road or a toll road with private funding . It will be a p3. Publicprivate partnerships. The dominant source cant do it on their own. Bob, specific ideas. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Thank you for having me.

Eastern. Loop capital with a buy and an 1,100 per share target. Yes, melissa the highest on the street. Second highest. 25 upside. There are two major aspects. There may be a spinoff or ipo which could have a 2 billion valuation. As you noted its the second highest price call on the street. Susquehanna at 1,250 but thats a lot of upside. People have been speculating. The third stock here, actually two for one, mcdonalds and wendys. Credit suisse, offering fresh hamburgers.

What march madness is restoring faith in supports as the savior for the tv bundle next. Just like the marines did. At one point, i did change to a Different Company with car insurance, and i was not happy with the customer service. We have switched back over and we feel like were back home now. The process through usaa is so effortless, that you feel like youre a part of the family. I love that i can pass the membership to my children, and that they can be protected. Were the williams family, and were usaa members for life. Call usaa today to talk about your insurance needs. The nfls poor regular season ratings led to doubts it would be sports that kept the precious bundle all in one piece. College basketball however telling a very different story as we head into the final four this weekend. Julia has a look at the difference between the two. March madness shows that sports fans are obsessed as tuning in for live sports as ever. Coverage is up 10 from last year, according to ncaa and that makes it the third watched tournament in 24 years. The digital presence has exploded. A record 88 million live video streams, more than 30 increase over last year, with social media engagement up 75 . Now, these numbers arent just good for cbs and time warner, they could have implications for other sports leagues in the process of selling their Digital Rights right now. Now twitter streamed 10 nfl games last season and now they are negotiating with facebook and google and amazon and twitter over those Digital Rights of some thursday games but the deal expected to be announced in mid april. Facebook earlier teamed up with Major League Soccer and univision to live stream 22 matches and lives shows and in talks with the mlb with streaming one baseball game live per week. Now dismy will be testing demand for streaming sports later when it launches a new streaming app with some sports that arent on espn. Tyler . Thank you very much. Next guest is betting that fans attending events like march madness will also want maybe to book a last minute hotel room. Hotel tonight, a mobile app offering spontaneous hotel room bookings two deals with Madison Square garden and yankees today. Here to tell us about is is sam shank. Good to have you with us. Good to be here. Lets start with the partnership with the yankees and Madison Square garden. Have to be at the garden at Yankee Stadium and do i get a discount . Actually some deals that unlock when youre at those iconic locations. Geo located. Exactly, we are now seeing mainstreaming of last minute Hotel Bookings. When we started mobile was 2 of all Hotel Bookings and now its 50 . 50 of all hotel rooms are booked within three days of arrival. This is a mainstream thing. You use it, right . I use it a lot. Showing me on your phone. I use it a lot because we travel short notice a lot and sometimes its better, you do take the risk that you hope theres something available if you dont book ahead in advance. Your strategy, as far as i can tell, i use hotels. Com to be fair, and does your strategy have fewer selections and always have choice, maybe ten choices in new york or l. A. Rather than all of them and then bang the discounts more with those specific hotels . How does it work . So the curation is what we call it. Its the 15 very best deals youll see and you pulled out the app right now, very best deals that are surfaced at the time i open the app. It makes it easy to make a selection because you dont have to go through a list of hundreds of hotels also rank them like family oriented, hip i dont know disco lights, want my kids to have a comfortable bed. Exactly. The hotels are competing for those spots. So theres an incentive to give us better deals. I assume the theaters or stadiums whatever, they themselves have chosen to geo fence the building . You ride that technology . They are using it for all kinds of things and youre able to do that too, correct . They are probably using it for other things. What we do is proprietary for us. We built the geo location technology, and its available in airports and around the hotel in the same day, many cases. The hotel can opt in and provide a special deal to those types of people and its a natural fit they are offloading their unsold rooms to you through a deal that you have. What would the typical discount be for one of these rooms . Lets say im going to you name the brand, and i book three weeks ahead of time as opposed to booking with you a day ahead, two days ahead. We go seven days in advance, we dont see three weeks in ahead but what we see is a 20 decline and it works exactly the opposite of airlines, airlines the worse time to buy is right before you take off and hotel, thats the best time to buy. What prevents me from going on your app and seeing that theres vacancy at marriott and going to marriott directly . Is it guaranteed that your rate at the last minute will be lower than the hotels own rate . We have a best rate guarantee it will be at least the same why would you do that . The hotel is doing it because they have rooms going to go unsold and they need to fill them up with incremental revenue and they decide is it worth providing this discount to fill the room up and they can decide some days it is and some days it isnt. They have ultimate flexibility whether they do it or not. In terms of why you book with us versus somebody else, its really easy, ten seconds to book the room. You draw the h. You draw the h, a hotel bed logo, thats what youre going for. Thats right. We have a question from a caller, our executive producer, he called in sandy in englewood cliffs, youre on the air. Are millennials traveling and ditching and using you . Its about experiences not things. They want rich experiences and Music Festivals and sporting events and collect the experiences and times with their friends and snap chat about it. Use mobile devices for ordering everything. They want flexibility and freedom and to save money. Absolutely, thats our core market the millennials. Seconds day in a row had a uva guest on. Youre uva . Yeah. Thank you. Trade war is on the way. The commerce secretary says its already here. How big of a risk to the rally is it . Looking after the bees in the next hour of power lunch. Its been over 100 years since the first stock index was created, as a benchmark for average. Yet a lot of people still build portfolios with strategies that just track the benchmarks. But investing isnt about achieving average. Its about achieving goals. And invesco believes doing that today requires the art and expertise of highconviction investing. Translation . Why invest in average . Welcome, everybody, to the second hour of power lunch. Michelle and melissa and brian are joining me. We have two hours until the closing bell. The closing bell that will ring in it for the end of this First Quarter of 2017. Heres what were watching right now, dow up 5 in the First Quarter but could the stalled agenda in washington if it is in fact stalled be a risk to the rally . Well debate that one straight ahead. Plus, infrastructure in focus, will building bridges help build bridges in a divided congress . How do you like that little turn of phrase . Retail and especially target taking it on the chin so far this year. Is now the time to bet on one of the years biggest losers . Melissa . Thank you very much. The nasdaq going out with a bang in q1. Melissa, it may not seem like a lot, were seeing some gains in here however what we have are record highs. We just hit a record high in the nasdaq 100 index just within the last half hour or so. Leading way higher for some of those big cap names you might expect here, a record high for shares of amazon and microsoft shares and starting to drive these gains. As we look towards the wrapup of the First Quarter overall, we are seeing again record highs for the nasdaq 100, the stocks that matter the most when it comes to the nasdaq. Back over to you. Thank you very much. One potential risk to the rally that dom was just talking about, a trade war. Heres what wilbur ross said on cnbc this morning. We are in a trade war. We have been for decades. The only difference is that our troops are finally coming to the ram part. We didnt end up with a trade deficit accidentally. We ended up in a trade deficit because of the way we negotiated treaties. Lets that was mr. Ross, the commerce secretary. Lets bring in john harwood. Tyler, weve got a situation with President Trump where his agenda is right now stalled out, trade is one of the things that could give him a chance to recover. Lets first of all look at the agenda that has stalled. Youve got the travel ban that the president started out advertise term with, that was halted and the health care bill. That failed. Youve got fbi and Senate Investigations of russia, sean spicer is addressing those from the podium right now at the white house and 38 Approval Rating for the president of the United States. Thats extremely low by historical standards. He does have opportunities for recovery. Lets look what those are. First of all, next week he hopes to get neil gorsuch confirmed to the supreme court, even if it that takes Mitch Mcconnell invoking the Nuclear Option and doing it by majority vote rather than getting 60 votes to break a filibuster. You have the potential for new infrastructure policies that the president would put in place. Youve got the trade policies and president is signing executive orders this afternoon. Its still a little bit unclear exactly what the trade policies are going to be and how hard or soft they are going to be in relation to his campaign rhetoric. Same is true on infrastructure and you have tax reform. Thats the huge wild card that the market is watching, how low can the corporate rate go . What loopholes will be taken away. That is like trade, like infrastructure, huge question mark out there. One more thing weve got to mention, april 28th, the government has to find a way to extend government funding or we could have a shutdown and that would come on the 100th day of President Trumps first 100 days in office. John harwood. Thanks investment. Will concerns over trade and trump agenda derail the rally that weve enjoyed through the first three months of the year . Thoughts now from ron insana and michael farr, also a cnbc contributor. I dont think hes in washington. I think hes in naples, florida. I can almost bet that. Come on down. Ron, im going to start with you. Frankly its a little premature to declare the trump agenda stalled. Sure hes had setbacks but there are an awful lot of big policies out there that are still seemingly very much alive. I asked Gabrielle Santos whether this rally she pointed to is the stronger momentum behind stocks and whether that momentum can endure trouble with the trump rally . There are a lot of folks who make that argument, given that the economy started to rebound in october of last year, the city group city economic surprise index started to rebound in august of last year. Job growth has reaccelerated and the economy seems to be gathering momentum ir respective of policy. Some might argue that gridlock is good but we have to take into consideration that the president is fighting a multifront war, yesterday going after the Freedom Caucus, whom he needs to pass some significant legislation and at war with the Intelligence Community and press and democrats, under those circumstances, it makes it hard to pass policies Going Forward. But his question was, does that slow down the rally . It will. I think the icing on the cake in the rally was expectation that we will see tax reform deregulation infrastructure you think theres doubts to that. Absolutely and the think the russian situation is an even bigger doubt in my mind. A lot going on. The tradeoff has been we heard people say Corporate Tax reform is going to be great, go straight to the bottom line. That bolsters the rally the concern on the other side is if we get into a trade war and you heard wilbur ross today. Where do you stand with the trumps agenda on the markets . Trumps agenda on the market looks like its going to be a great agenda. I see it just as a tradeoff for Monetary Policy to fiscal policy. This Market Recovery for years, i can say whafrl you want, we have seen Earnings Growth but weve seen money shoved into this economy from the Federal Reserve and increase of our debt. Now were waiting for further tax cuts and more money to come in and we still kind of hang on every word as to whether markets should go up or not. Donald trump is seemingly acting like the teflon don here lately in that he doesnt get health care done and not important, were going to move on and markets seem to say its not important. He gets accused makes a wiretap accusation, not important, were going to move on. You seem to be saying here, michael that the underlying fundamentals and momentum is Strong Enough to propel the market forward even if the trump agenda cant. I got you right . No, i dont think so. I think that i think that the market is actually well exceeded the fundamentals of repatriation and everything else. Theres risk there but we keep calling for this top that wont materialize and michael, where do you stand . Do i commit money to the market or dont i . Sure, on a case by case basis. Im always willing to buy a cheap stock but they are harder to find. Youve got to be cautious and find Balance Sheets that make sense that can endure when this drops. It will drop sooner or later. I dont think it will be a bad thing when they do. Ron . I think it depends on why it drops and i do think were lurching towards some sort of governmental crisis here. I dont think were out of the woods. They seem to be intensifying. It hasnt hurt the markets yet. If you go back to watergate days as well, it took two years from beginning to end to have a significant impact. What started in those days as a small burglary we know, yeah. I think this could take that shape and then i think, if the market were to look through it would look through to mike pence and say, all right, if indeed something happened in that regard, mike pence is going to pass all of this stuff anyway, assuming democrats dont take congress in 2018. Im taking it day by day, tweet by tweet to determine where we go from here. Im much more cautious than in a while. We check those every day. Indeed we do. Thanks. Happy birthday, ron insana. You tried to sneak away without us knowing. Happy birthday, ron insana. The First Quarter was pretty good for International Markets and sima modi has the numbers. In the face of protectionism and populism, the Global Market picture looks commendable. The global index seeing the best start since 2013. A lot having to do with pickup and growth in these individual economies and paying off on domestic reforms what youre seeing in china and india and commodities, helping latin america. Look at the move were seeing in brazil. Its economies finally emerging from a recession and mexico, the posse peso recouped many of the trump related losses. Onest best performing currencies in 2016, helping outperform the best quarter since april 2012. Of course a weaker dollar a big factor. When you look at the emerging market dmeconomies. Look at europe. Its fweting close to the mandate of 2 . Thats fielding european equities the german dax, trading at multiyear highs and this is coming ahead of two key elections in germany and france. Lets bring in our Global Fund Manager of center stone investors. Abe, great to have you with us. You run an a u. S. And international strategy. If i had to divide between the two, how would you allocate in the. Weve been tilting more and more towards international, we tell people were in the business of protection, not prediction, were not trying to predict the future, were trying to protect capital and thats why we focus purely on fundamentals and pointing us more towards nonu. S. Markets instead of u. S. Markets. Some people will say why should i put money in International Markets right now but your argument is actually that were in sort of the middle phase of this reversion to the mean right, so theres a lot more to go in international . I think so. Maybe really in the beginning phases. U. S. Markets have been so much stronger than International Markets for five or six years now as again from the bottom up, at center stone we find more and more ideas outside the u. S. And it makes sense. As you said, the u. S. Market massively outperformed the International Markets but now theres a steep valuation difference. I think the previous guest was talking about how the risks in the United States and that risk is also met by the fact that u. S. Markets are trading in historically high multiples and we believe that the s p is essentially add its at its intrinsic value. Trading at significant discounts to intrinsic value. When you look at Economic Growth and inflation as you were pointing out, what about the policies from washington and impact on trade and a lot of these economies that are betting or reliant on the u. S. Consumer . I mean, as long as people are worried about any of the trump fiscal policies or if you look at europe, i mean, the macro headlines dominate the news that comes out of the industry out of the region. You know, that acknowledgement is itself comforting to me. It means that people have priced it into the stock market and its safer despite the negative headlines we keep saying. Which markets do you like the best . Were pretty globally focused. We spend time in europe and asia. Less interested in japan right now and were still shying away from financials, center stone, were pretty conservative and try to protect capital first. The types of companies tends to be good businesses that generate cash flow and have management teams that allocated the cash on behalf of shareholders for their history. Thoughts on russia . One of the best performing emerging markets in 2016, gaining 15 , different story in 2017, having to do with the hope we would see sanction relief for russia out of the white house. What would you do there . In russia, we just have two rules, we like high returns on capital and like return of capital and i cant quite guarantee sometimes well get that return of capital when we invest in russia. Weve been mostly ive never owned much in russia. For 2017, do you stay local or go international . For the next five years utility international. You have the case for currencies in your favor. Thats a change from the last five years and i think we would encourage people to shift overseas. Thank you. Seema modi and abhay of center stone investors. Were finding opportunity just for you. Your guest has three oil stock picks he loves with a bit of a caveat. Plus, last weakek eric cant toxr told us the repeal of obamacare would pass. It did not.

Because it is the last day of the First Quarter were digging up awesome and awful stats to help you drop knowledge at cocktail parties tonight. Heres the sunshine stock of the year so far. It is Power Company nrg based in the Energy Capital of america princeton, new jersey, owner of power plants and solar and even coal and nrg is the best performer in the s p 500 this year and also getting love from wall street, Goldman Sachs recently upgraded nrg earlier this week. Certainly not all Energy Related stocks have been created equal this year. Many stocks lost investors money this year but that is not dissuading your next guest from specific investing ideas. Lets bring in mike kelly and Senior Analyst and youve got interesting names, mostly smaller cap. All three names all basically in the perm yan basin of texas . You guessed it, brian. Luckily ive been there. Why is it so more attractive you . Honing in on a degraphic region . Its simply economics. You are spending the least amount of capitol out here to get the most reserves out of the ground. Its simple as that. Commodity environment and commodity space lowest cost, highest returning producer wins. All of these names are down this year, 8, 12, 20 . Has it been a frustrating time to be an oil analyst given the wild swings of the price of crude . I think its been encouraging, we put out a 130page capital efficiency report yesterday and the big conclusion was in a 50 world a lot of these guys make a very good living. So the names have been off with the commodity, commodity kind of peak in february of 55, all of the stocks have trailed off as well but we think that you really dont need much more than 50 for these things to work. As long as you stick here around this level, these names will perform very well. And theres a few you like and upgraded, i want to focus on a couple of specific names, maybe two or three, rsp and perm yan and ring energy. Why are those two on your list . Rsp, Great Company did an absolutely fabulous acquisition in the end of 2016. I think its going to be a catalyst rich 2017 for them as they prove that this acre average they picked up from a private Company Silver hill may be the best acreage in the lower 48.

Houston based company here, now have some scale, 55,000 net acres going to be one of the fastest growers in the permian and lower 48 for that matter and stocks pulled back and had a bumpy q4, valuation is right.

Thank you. We are 90 minutes from the closing bell on wall street for the week and month as well as the quarter. Lets check on where the markets stand right now. The dow is down 60 points. We should keep in mind the s p is on track for the biggest quarterly gain since 2015 and nasdaq only index in the green. Take a look at oil right now, very slightly higher brent on pace for a 7 decline for the quarter. Were focused on rebuilding america and have reporters spread out across the country focusing on different areas of infrastructure. The big question is how do you pay for all of it. Kayla is live in Tysons Corner, virginia. We were talking about that area earlier, looking at how the president is trying to get the private sector involved. Kayla . Reporter im not your hometown here in virginia. Toll roads like these are being eyed by the administration and they are Public Private partnerships where the government raises debt to fund part of the project and private Investors Fund the rest. The u. S. Is considered an emerging market of sort in this type of investment. Most often favored by canada, australia and singapore or western europe but demand is increasing and so are the funds looking to invest in insfra tukt tour here. Just this year, private equity seeking to raise 31 billion to target u. S. Infrastructure alone. Big names like carlisle and black stone are among those interested, on to have of 68 billion that is earmarked for n inf infrastructure deals. Gene spurling says while the funds may be there, there might not be enough projects to fit the bill. The greatest challenge is theres only so many projects that easily lend themselves to the kind of toll revenue. And i think that pays back private investors. And they need to be paid back. They have specific criteria. They want to earn a return north of 10 in exchange for putting their money to work for several years but they want to be able to get it back within ten years and often times the government wants leases of 30 or more years and then of course they want to have a steady revenue stream why toll roads are so popular, they pay a few bucks and that money goes back to investors, one question that will be raised by the administration and as the projects come to the floor, how many toll roads do we need and isnt it the taxpayer that ends up footing that bill . Its all good questions, thanks so much. So could infrastructure be the way to build bridges between democrats and republicans and republicans and republicans. Eric cantor writing in an oped, the best path forward doesnt fit into the rigid ideologies or extremes of either party. Progress requires incorporating the best ideas of both parties. Eric cantor joins us now. Good to have you here. Good to be with you. Is there any hope we wont see the same thing when it comes to Infrastructure Spending . Is there enough by part anship . Can we get some of the members of the Freedom Caucus or freedom from reality caucus as some like to call them, to get involved here . I think infrastructure by definition is going to be a bipartisan issue. As we know the majority in Congress Republicans were trying to get health care done and will attempt to get tax reform done most likely in a partisan way in similar doubt, president obama pushed through obamacare just on partisan votes. When you take Infrastructure Spending, thats not something subject to the procedure known as reconciliation that afords a lower voting threshold. It will need 60 votes in the senate. Youre going to have to have bipartisan support. My point in that piece that you referred to is yes, i think it is a less partisan issue. I think it is a national concern. I actually sit on the Bipartisan Policy Centers council and we created a coalition i want to maer more about that but hold on one second. Dont take this the wrong way. Your credibility with me is a little weak at the moment because when it came to health care reform, you were just on before the veet that never happened and you told us it would pass. In case you dont remember, here it is. What if it doesnt get done . Do you believe the president s forecast that the people who voted against it will lose come next election . It will get done. It will get done. Youre not even entertaining the idea it doesnt . This is a great way issue. You said it would get done and they were afraid of the president , that donald trump was going to breathe down their necks and it would be impossible to tell the president no. What happened . I think what i said first of all, what most people reasoned would say, the republicans are in charge, theres a majority there, they should be able to get this done. They pulled the bill, didnt have the vote to preserve the ability to go forward again. Im hopeful theyll get that done but i do think the president is looking for and should be looking for issues that he can go and see and get across the finish line. As youve suggested during this great way to bring the country back together, set as a national priority. I dont care where you live or what your Party Affiliation is or how old you are, everybody enjoys and benefits from is Corporate Tax reform also one of those issues whereby partisansh partisanship could come into play . Not so sure about that. If you remember during the campaign, you hardly ever heard Hillary Clinton talk about needing Corporate Tax reform and lowering the rate. Theres pressure on the left that wont allow for democratic politicians to come forward and say, we need to help our businesses so they can create more jobs by being more competitive. Im not so sure youre going to see a lot of bipartisan support on that but infrastructure is a different story. Heres the think, what i think a lot of maybe the Freedom Caucus hears is sure, spending money is bipartisan. Were back to a congress that wants to spend a trillion dollars on infrastructure. Is that just the way thats what you guys do when you get there . Im not there. I dont have to own all of that. What im telling you is, the president in his address to the joint session of congress, he did say he wanted to see a trillion dollars of Infrastructure Spending and did not say specifically there would be a trillion dollars of federal spending. Thats why this group that the coalition on infrastructure, business, trade unions and the rest say there is basically a fourpart formula, number one, lets say infrastructure is a national priority. Two, youve got to have a robust and consistent commitment on the federal level but you also have to have private sector, the way kayla was Tysons Corner. Virginia has been a leader in p3s, to make sure we have the necessary tools in place and fourth to go about and make sure the state level as well as the federal that youre reducing the Political Risk thats surrounds these types of investments. Eric, should paul ryan step down as speaker . No, he shouldnt step down as speaker. No, listen, these are beginning days and these are slow. This is the republicans becomes used to being a governing party and as brian as you know, weve talked about. Republicans just by nature are those people who believe in limited government. There are some who believe in less than limited government. And so its an uncomfortable mix and its trying to get that balance right. Im actually continuing to say that that majority will in the end be able to deliver. Its just going through growing pains. Do you think theres libertarians disguising themselves as fullon gop causing some animus in the house . Im sorry . Do you think theres libertarians that are saber rattling inside the gop . I dont know the definition of what that is versus what a conservative republican is. I think what unites the party are people that believe in limited government and there is a proper role for government, although limited. What it does, it should do very well and stay out of the way. I do think thats a unifying sense and that goes back to the point on infrastructure because there is a proper role for government to be there and steady sort of way and commit. Ill ask you one question about tax reform, eric and that is because before you said that health care was a gateway issue and said they cant get off of this and get to the major they cant do that and not accomplish Health Care Without getting to the major tax reform part of the agenda. Do you think the tax reform will happen . You made it seem like if they couldnt get health care done they lose the momentum they wouldnt have the privilege of getting tax reform done . The reality is does momentum does begets momentum in that town. No question about it. It was a setback for sure, come on. In order to effect tax reform, they are either going to have to pass a new budget to set up the instructions for tax reform in this 51 vote environment or they are going to have to use the existing infra the existing reconciliation instructions that are already out there for health care. Thats a very difficult proposition on either front. So they are going to have to find a way to regain momentum and i know weve seen the white house, heard them speak today and youve had it on on this show about wilbur ross talking about gaining momentum on trade. Obviously, the regulatory rollback is a constant momentum push and i think one for the markets as well. Weve talked about that a lot. Thanks so much for joining us, you were a good sport today. We appreciate it. You hear it every day on this network, apple and amazon, rising to new highs, is it even news anymore . News is supposed to be unusual. Well talk more about that on trading nation.

Only at Td Ameritrade the president s 2007 ferrari is going up for sale this weekend and could bring in more than a quarter of a million dollars. Robert frank joins us with more. We know the president liked to live large and had a large number of cars. This is the third car that used to be owned by donald trump ha has come up for sale since he started running for president. This could fetch the most. Auctions america set to sell his 2007 f430 fehr rary between 200 and 350,000, that would be more than two times the average sale price for this type of car at action. It has actually declined in value in recent years from the original sale price back in 2007. This would have sold around 200,000. Trump was the original buyer of the car. He bought it brandnew in 2007, perhaps to celebrate what was probably a really good Financial Year from him. Remember the apprentice show was going strong and at that point the Real Estate Market was just on fire. But hes actually not the seller of this car. Its unclear who the current owner is but the big question will be how much of a trump premium this ferrari could fetch. A lamb borg genie sold for 460,000, over the typical sale price and 1998 cadillac limousine was sold for more than four times the place, auctioned in england getting 68,000. This ferrari is expected to be sold tomorrow in ft. Lauderdale around 5 00 p. M. So people are telling me if theres a really big trump fan out there, that likes cars and likes the president , this could go well over 300,000, guys. Robert frank, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Tech topping ult a great First Quarter but will tech stocks keep making you money this quarter and beyond. Today that is david sea burg and Stacey Gilbert with susquehanna. Youll hear in just a second, pointed out that your analyst is amazon is 12. 50, are you guys that bullish across the board on technology generally . Yeah, i think its fair to say there are a lot of positive indicators here in large broad cap tech. Lets go through it. We have the sentment indicator, moving in via options flows and our analyst issue highlighted being one of the top in amazon. From a delivery standpoint these Tech Companies are delivering on earnings, according to facts set, beat eps targets and 69 beat revenue targets, better than any sector. You cant have price appreciation without growth on pt earnings side and they are showing it. Third and this is the interesting wild car, d. C. , as you talk tax reform, the tech sector has the potential to benefit the most. If you look at the s p 500 tech sector, 700 billion is in cash overseas, just getting a fraction of that and using it whether it be buy backs or dividends to have the companys further grow all have the potential to be a positive for tech longer term.
